[Boatanchors] Boatanchor Schematic Drawing Software

[David Stinson]

Seriously:  A pencil and paper.
I'm not kidding.  Been down this road.
By the time you set-up, learn to use, then debug what
you thought you knew and finally get the thing to draw on the 
computer,
then cuss because you don't have the print drivers set right and
it won't print properly, then call for help and get the wrong answers
etc. etc.,  you could have drawn the thing 50 times.

Sometimes (often!), computers are more trouble than they're worth.
